Kilgraston Sports Day 2023 - Juniors and Seniors
Sports Day 2023 did not disappoint. With all pupils taking part in a range of events, there was an excellent combination of competition and fun events on display. From the Sixth Form Tug of War to the blue ribboned 100m race, all our pupils were given an opportunity to shine. A highlight for many was the relays with the Junior staff challenging the Upper Third and the Senior staff racing the Upper Sixth. Both pupil teams were successful which means staff have some work to do on their sprinting technique! And of course, our parents egg and spoon races which are always highly contested.
A special mention to Libby, our piper, who led the school beautifully onto the athletics field and along the track for the presentations. A huge well done and thank you to all our athletes, staff and visitors for making the day such success.

Sports Day 2022
Kilgraston Sports Day 2022 took place June 9th and 10th with the sun shining for both the Junior and Senior events.
This year our Senior Sports Day started on Friday morning. Each house gathered on Front Lawn in their colours and were piped to the sports field by Lower Fifth’s Libby before the event compère, Mr. Allaker, who did a fantastic job.
The first event was the 100 metre sprint in year groups (Fourth Form, Fifth Form and Sixth Form). It was followed by the Long Jump, Shot put and High jump. Each event was very fun to watch, but my favourite was the high jump! The other two running events were the 800 and 200 metres. The fun races included the egg and spoon race and the sack race. There was an egg and spoon race for the teachers and parents too.
The last races of the day were the relays, which were in the usual year groups, with an extra one which is the staff against the sixth form.
At the end senior event, Libby piped us to the finish line for presentations to the Champions from Mrs. Davie. Thank you to Mrs. Ferry and everyone who made this years sports day so successful.
